(UTV|COLOMBO) – World champion Lewis Hamilton signed off the first week of pre-season testing with an imposing fastest time.
The Mercedes driver was 0.5 seconds clear of the rest and 0.9s quicker than 2017 title rival, Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel, despite using a harder tyre.
Pre-season times are notoriously unreliable indicators of form because car specifications are not revealed and many factors can affect performance.
But Hamilton’s pace underlines Mercedes’ pre-season favourites status.
